I’m a hiring manager at a F50 company. Employers are always excited about elite schools. Those applicants get the interviews, and fast tracked for promotions internally. They get ear marked for the best opportunities.

But strong graduates from other schools can fair just as well, it will just take them more effort to stand out during their career and get ahead of the pack and get noticed. Networking is and social climbing at work is crucial for this group.[/quote]

There are way more than 50 places to work and succeed and make a ton of money un the U.S. Just like there are more than 10 colleges for extraordinary students to attend.[/quote]

I have the same title and make roughly a little more salary than an Ivy leaguer. We are similar in age and years of experience. [/quote]
